Infamous: Second Son? How violent edgy is this? My understanding is it is similar to an arkham city game but you are lightning man


I don’t remember it being particularly violent or edgy, was quite fun if not also very forgettable though, except for some reason the incredibly bland cover of Heart Shaped Box over the credits.

The “evil” route for Infamous is kind of edgy-ish, though it felt like decent writing for a comic book supervillain origin story. He’s less outright evil and more of a selfish brat who goes through some bad poo poo, and it’s all downhill from there.

Fun enough that I did two playthroughs back to back and got the platinum for it though.

Nope, Slasher flick choose your own adventure. Though it does get supernatural partway through but it is not zombies. Or even totally not zombies.

So out of the ones that are

God of War

The Last of Us: Remastered

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End(watch chip cheezum do this so thoroughly I don't feel like I ever need to actually play it)

Battlefield 1

Monster Hunter World? I've never liked any of these I've tried but those were old style ones. I don't like planning and fighting a monster for like 15 minutes and I especially hated all the loading between areas but I think this one doesn't have that?

Fallout 4? Is this any good? I've heard not really

Final Fantasy XV? I played the mobile one, this is the same except better graphics right?

The Last Guardian? I know this games deal, is it a reasonably short length?

Ratchet and Clank

Infamous: Second Son? How violent edgy is this? My understanding is it is similar to an arkham city game but you are lightning man

Days Gone

Bloodborne(sorry I don't like soulsborne games)

Detroit: Become Human? Is this by that dumb french guy? Is it as dumb rear end Heavy Rain?

Batman Arkham Knight

Mortal Kombat X

Persona 5

Until Dawn? I don't know what this is. What is this? Is it a zombie game? I hate zombies

Resident Evil: Biohazard

So out of these I've crossed out the ones I have zero interest in, I've underlined the ones I'll definitely download. The other ones are question marks to me I basically know nothing about, are they interesting?

Axel seems really insane now, I’d even say Top 3 on the SOR4 roster for everything that can OTG now. I like to play as Cherry also but just for fun, I’m too terrible to learn Mania with more than one character.

When I was a kid I played tons of Streets of Rage 1 and 2 with a friend on his Mega Drive (Genesis). His favourite character was Axel and I played mostly as Adam who could get in a funny infinite almost jumping kick loop against these torch jugglers. When SoR2 came out he left Axel vacant to use Max and I then took over him. Fell in love with his grand upper and defensive special, he was absolutely insane and only switched to Blaze because she had some drat great combos on 2. SoR3 felt weird and we didn't play as much mostly due to studies and such so years passed and emulation came in. SoR2 Axel is my favourite character by far, followed by SoR2 Blaze up until SoRR that "remade" SoR1 Axel into a drat beast and more usable than in the original release.

What I want to say is that for some reason they overnerfed Axel in SoR3 and I recall reading on the now dead SoRR forums that it was due to less hitbox frames on his bombos or something like that so, while you could punch faster, you could actually miss hits but my memory fails me. SoR4 came out and holy poo poo, Axel was borderline unusable and went straight to play with Blaze and then Adam who I used to finish my first playthrough. SoR4 Axel now feels as powerful as 2's and made me a happy grown kid.

Anyone that likes beat 'em ups should do a quick search for Streets of Rage Remake (v5.1) and play it (runs drat smooth on any lovely PC/laptop or even raspberry). It's very replayable since they remixed all three games' levels into one so you can choose different paths and play with all characters who got some tweaks like adding specials to SoR1 characters instead of calling the police car/chopper like in 4.

Before 4 SORR was the definitive way to play Streets of Rage. Hard to believe it came out almost 10 years ago.

Then I have some really bad news for you regarding God of War...

MHW: I'd never played MH before this but it really is fun. For me "planning" involves "hmm this is an ice boss, so I will put on ice resistant gear and a fire weapon" and that's about it. The areas are all big and you only load going into them or leaving. If it's going to be free there's no harm in trying it to see if you like it.

Let me tell you about true luxury.


The stores are to blame here anyway. Only Amazon didn't gently caress up. What's weird to me is that everyone was going to sell out if they made purchasing available one day or the next, it didn't matter. Stores should only try to beat each other to putting up a sale item when there is too much inventory for each store to sell out of.

The back of the PS5 just has a port for the power cable, HDMI port, ethernet port and 2 USB ports. It's a shame they didn't have a way to plug the PSVR straight into the console. I can hide the breakout box but it's just a rat's nest back there.

get last guardian and shadow of the colossus.

also, yakuza 0. its not violent per say, its more river city rampage comicbook punching with gritty story and heartwarming hilarious side-content. i mean there is a bit of violence from other characters but its further the story/character rather videogamey stuff.

You'll need one USB port for the camera (there's a free adapter for the current camera, but I don't know how to get it yet) and one to connect to the breakout box. You'll still need to use one of the front to charge a controller.

I'm thinking of getting a bigger external HDD, and there's an Xbox-branded 8TB Seagate drive with 2 USB ports on it. Although 4TB should be plenty of you don't have OCD for having absolutely everything installed

theres only one connection to the usb isnt there? the other vr connector goes into the new slot or am i misunderstanding something, and the new slot is just the usb? i havent actually looked at the pictures yet. also, poo poo, thats a good point, where do we get that free adapter from?

i'm not that fussed about HDD since im going disc but yeah other than that, seems like a good setup to me at least, front port for charging. or just plug it in somewhere else to charge like a usb plug/pc if its all taken up.

There are 2 USB 10 gigabit Type A ports on the back of the PS5 and another slower one in the front. Also there is a USB C on the front. You are going to want to plug your hard drive on the back for sure.

On PS4 the camera plugs into a proprietary port on the back and the breakout box also uses a standard USB port. The Pro has one on the back for this, on others you have to use a front port. On PS5 they removed the proprietary port so you'll have to use 2 USB ports just on the VR hardware, and the third for whatever else you use USB for.

No details on the adapter program yet, just confirmation that it'll be free.
